Background:Kangaroo Mother Care is a globally acknowledged method for newborn care, especially for preterm and low birth weight infants. This approach emphasizes continuous skin-to-skin contact, exclusive breastfeeding, and early discharge. While KMC has proven benefits, its successful implementation hinges on the knowledge and practices of healthcare workers. Objectives:To assess the knowledge and determine perception of health care workers regarding KMC. Methods:This study was conducted in C.U. Shah Medical college, Surendranagar, Gujarat. A structured web-based questionnaire was used to collect data from nurses and doctors willing to participate.The study explores participants' familiarity with KMC protocols, attitudes towards its integration into routine neonatal care, and identifies potential barriers or facilitators.Results:Among 50 respondents, the majority were nurses (55.3%), with positive attitudes toward KMC. Over 95% recognized its benefits, yet challenges like limited accessibility were noted.75% health care workers have perception that KMC is only useful in infants having birth weight less than 2.5 kg.More than 85% health care workers agreed that KMC was practiced regularly in their wards. The study suggests the need for targeted interventions and guidelines Conclusion:The study concludes that healthcare personnel in Pediatric/Neonatology and Gynecology/Obstetric wards at C.U. Shah Medical College are familiar with KMC, exhibiting satisfactory knowledge and positive attitudes. However, it emphasizes the importance of proper training and guidelines, especially for nursing staff, to encourage KMC's use and calls for dedicated KMC units in Indian health centers.
